“The Blood on our controllers” is an amateur documentary made in 2024. The film denounces the role of the video game industry in the normalisation of the Palestinian genocide, through its close relation with the military industrial complex and the representation of Arab communities in games. It is a collaborative work between devs, artists, animators, and academicians to show how our games are doing wrong or right, what the game industry could be and what needs to be done for it to happen.
